I've been searching for months now to find the perfect pattern for the gown part of this costume.

 

With a little modification, mostly shortening the front... leaving most of the back intact, and closing the side slit, and modifying the collar, I think this is the best pattern so far.

If you notice just the dress part, I think it would work. The lines look similar to the reference picture.

 

I've run into most dresses having princess seams, which I've discounted, but have reconsidered since the seams would be hidden by the inner gown.

 

Any suggestions on fabric material? I've thought of wool, since its heavy and thick, but thoughts of wearing this in Atlanta in September (this is my goal), I'm not so sure. Linen??

 

I'm looking to custom dye this and have requested a catalog from Dharma.
